• Netizens Argue Over Whether "Shy Shy Shy" or "Omona" is the Most Iconic Version of NewJeans' Haerin

    It's tough to choose!


    "Shy Shy Shy" by TWICE's Sana and "Omona" by Wonder Girls' Sohee are two of the most famous poses and lines in K-Pop.

    "Shy Shy Shy" went viral because it was accidentally cute. The line was supposed to be "Shy Shy Shy," but Sana said it as "Sha Sha Sha," which is way cuter.


    On the other hand, when "Omona" was popular, Sohee's song almost had its own cult following.

    In the fourth generation, Haerin from NewJeans is getting a lot of attention for how well she does both poses.

    The best thing about her versions is that she doesn't try to copy her sunbaes, which is what most cover dances do.

    At the 2022 KBS Song Festival, her version of "Shy Shy Shy" went viral.

    She shone again at the SBS Gayo Daejun in 2022, when she sang "Tell Me."

  • Hyun Bin Apologizes for the 'Ddongcha' Theory After 20 Years: "I Was Wrong" - Actor Clears the Air About Iconic Role

    Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

    In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

    Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

    With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

    Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

    Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
